Hot as hell.

I've been along for the ride since episode one, and so I gotta let you guys know about how much I look forward to every new episode.
Major, you're getting better and better at your game. You sound great, show sounds great and as far as the artists you've assembled for the now 17 amazing shows, there isn't anything better out there. As far as I'm concerned, as a source of independant hip hop, r&b, reggae and all around soul, this is the only cast worth tuning into, week by week and month by month, and soon to be year by year ;)

HH is a great show that presents an awesome cross-section of all things R&B, Rap and Hip-Hop. Featuring music and talent from a huge collection of unsigned and otherwise underground artists, HoodHype is all about the music. This show makes the urban genres much more accessible to people who believe (incorrectly) that the whole scene is about nothing more than spitting about your bling, your hos or your money. Want to hear the big secret that record companies have been keeping from you? Listen to HoodHype! It's guaranteed to make you re-think how you view the urban music scene!
Much love for JMack and The Major!
